Salty suitors: High larval sodium intake reduces adult lifespan and influences reproductive behaviour in a lepidopteran herbivore

open access: yesEcological Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 5, Page 886-898, October 2025.
Low‐sodium females took significantly longer to start mating than high‐sodium females, but no pairings differed in the duration of copulation. Reproductive outputs, measured by number of clutches, hatching young, adult offspring and pupation time, did not differ across parental sodium pairings.

Whole‐genome data shed light on speciation and within‐species differentiation of the Papilio machaon complex around the Mediterranean Basin

open access: yesSystematic Entomology, Volume 50, Issue 4, Page 692-712, October 2025.
Genomic data refine the species boundary of Papilio machaon and confirm the species status of Papilio saharae, with clarification of subspecies delineation of Mediterranean machaon and saharae. A heterogeneous level of genome‐wide heterozygosity between island and continental lineages warrants further taxonomic implications, and there is also evidence ...

Floral Color and Family Drive Contrasting Plant–Pollinator Responses to Nutrient Enrichment

open access: yesEcology and Evolution, Volume 15, Issue 9, September 2025.
Floral taxonomic family and color mediated how plant–pollinator reactions respond to nutrient enrichment. Nitrogen enrichment increased yellow and purple Asteraceae flowers and decreased pink, blue, and green flowers in Geraniaceae, Fabaceae, and Iridaceae. These shifts in floral colors and traits altered pollinator composition.

Patterns of richness in a long‐term citizen science butterfly dataset from Cuyahoga Valley National Park

open access: yesEcosphere, Volume 16, Issue 9, September 2025.
Abstract Insect populations are experiencing ongoing declines in abundance and diversity, but their dynamics are often complex and trends are difficult to identify. Butterflies are an important, convenient, and useful insect group to monitor. They are a well‐recorded group of insects and play important ecological roles as both pollinators and ...

A Black Phase Female in the Historical Breeding Range of Canadian Swallowtails (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) [PDF]

open access: yes, 2018
A black phase female, collected in 2000 in Isabella Co., MI, in the historical range of Papilio canadensis Rothschild and Jordan, could be a result of recent introgression by P. glaucus L. If so, black females may become widespread, though infrequent, in

Field observations of heterospecific mating attempts by males of Papilio polytes (Lepidoptera: Papilionidae) toward newly eclosed individuals

open access: yesEntomological Science, Volume 28, Issue 3, September 2025.
We report three observational cases of male Papilio polytes courting and pairing with heterospecific butterflies, including a male from a different family, Nymphalidae. These findings suggest poor mate discriminability in P. polytes males and challenge the hypothesis that male mate preference contributes to the maintenance of female‐limited ...
